I cannot believe people are asking for AWD in an M3 that was born for motorsport. Has anyone seen a fast, if any, AWD track car in any tarmac competition series? Where's the purity?

Exactly right. I love all these "track guys" who assume everyone who buys an M car takes it to the track every weekend. The "purists" are a very small percentage of M owners.
